Pretty sure he is out of the world cup with a broken arm but I suppose you can change you side still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo DiscoBar Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 My team has been picked. Looking good at the moment, need to do a bit more scouting on some of the squad players but happy so far.

Varlesh Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I hate it how you can simply fill up your bench with players only worth 1m which then leaves you free to get 10m players in each position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo DiscoBar Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I hate it how you can simply fill up your bench with players only worth 1m which then leaves you free to get 10m players in each position. yeah but that wont really work, if you read the rules you can take out players who have already played - including Captain. If one of your 10 mil players does not perform - which is likely - do you really want to bring in a player who is worth 1 mil? Back to my previous post - I want Fabiano as captain but might well put it on someone else as Brazil play late in the group stage. If that captain performs well I will keep it, if not I will bring Fabiano in as captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_jagster Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Assuming I've read the rules correctly, do I take it you can play your weaker teams' players if they play in earlier matches and then just replace them with better players if they don't get a decent score in that round?

ham_aka_stam Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 23 players is a bit of a gimmick IMO. Yes you can swap players, but I've made sure I have one quality player in each bit for substitution purposes, the rest are cheapos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Gone for a squad of relatively decent players and a few hit and miss players rather than 11 quality players.
